COE International Summer Camp in Togo

COE International summer camps 2012, Togo, West Africa,
26 July to 02 August, 2012
 

Karoline and Princess (COE Chapter Leader Nigeria) were invited by Samuel AYIVI,  COE Chapter Leader in Togo, in West Africa to participate in a young people's camp organized in Kouvé last August 2012. Many members of COE and others took part in the activities of the event such as music, sports, and teachings on the Divine Names of God, and environment. For the environmental program we did a project which consisted of picking up plastic rubbish to make benches with the plastic from the bottles. We had an important debate with theme: “the union and the collaboration of COEs of Africa". Thirty-two (32) young people filled with the spirit of love were at Kouvé, a quiet and peaceful village. Every morning we started the day with a meditation combined with music. Then we had sport followed by meal, meeting and workshop. Karoline did a workshop on the Divine Names, followed by the distribution of the book tittled: "The Seventy two Leaving Divine Names of the Most-High" as a gift from friends. 

The following activities took place during the camp:

Children Evening: Clean Environment

For the environmental project we picked up the plastic rubbish in the village to make bricks, and in the same moment educated the people to not drop the plastic everywhere, but rather to recycle them to make projects such as bags, carpets and  benches.

A presentation was made on how to make bricks with the plastics and the bottles. Finally, the bench which we made from the plastic bricks was placed in the palace of the chief of the village of Kouvé .

Football Match

To go far and touch many young people we organized a friendly football match between the participants of the camp and the young people of the village.

African Evening

Princess and all members of COE Togo discussed the importance of collaboration and union of "COE AFRICA".

Rejoicing Evening

An evening of fun.

Church Visit

We talked about the importance of recycling the plastic rubbish to make something useful for humanity.

We can say that this camp has been successful because the participants and the people of the village have agreed to keep working on the environmental project, to live in harmony with nature and to continue to build a peaceful world. We thank God for assistance us in the camp. We are grateful to have had Karoline and Princess among us. They helped a lot in the organization of this camp and we hope to see them again next time. Once again, thank you all.
